*	On January 1, 2021, the Group adopted ASC 326 using a modified retrospective approach and did not restate the comparable prior periods, which resulted in a cumulative effect to increase the opening balance of accumulated deficit on January 1, 2021 by RMB5,684.

**	The increase in write-offs charged against the allowance for credit losses was mainly due to the deterioration of third-party customers’ financial condition resulted from their worsening business operation impacted by economic conditions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs, and the subsidiaries of the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Going concern consideration

The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023, the Group had an accumulated deficit and net current liabilities of RMB12,315,041 (US$1,734,539) and RMB730,466 (US$102,884), respectively. The Group has primarily funded the operations through revenue generated from contracts with customers, equity financing, and proceeds from financing facilities such as bank loans and related party loans.

In view of such circumstance, management has given careful consideration to the liquidity of the Group and its available sources of financing in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2023, the Group had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB2,489,481 (US$350,637). In addition, the Group had existing credit facilities available from Kingsoft Corporation Limited, Xiaomi Corporation and its subsidiaries, and banks.

Based on above, management believes that it is appropriate to prepare the Group’s consolidated financial statements using the going concern basis. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, contract assets and amounts due from related parties, measurement of operating and finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of goodwill, useful lives of long-lived assets, realization of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, share-based compensation expense, the purchase price allocation and fair value of non-controlling interests and contingent consideration with respect to business combinations, the fair value of equity investments and standalone selling prices of performance obligation of revenue contracts. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency

The Group’s financial information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries located in the U.S. is U.S. dollars (“US$”). The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries and the VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries located in mainland China is Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Japan and Hong Kong are Japanese Yen (“Yen”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), respectively.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company uses the average exchange rate for the year and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate the operating results and financial position, respectively. Translation differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity.

Convenience translation

Amounts in U.S. dollars are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of RMB7.0999 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2023 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and time deposits or other highly liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions which have original maturities of less than three months.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, a majority of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were held by financial institutions located in mainland China and Hong Kong. Deposits held in mainland China are subject to restrictions on foreign exchange and the ability to transfer cash outside of mainland China. In May 2015, a new Deposit Insurance System (“DIS”) managed by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) was implemented by the Chinese government. Deposits in the licensed banks in mainland China are protected by DIS, up to a limit of RMB500. Hong Kong has an official Deposit Protection Scheme (“DPS”). Deposits in the licensed banks in Hong Kong are protected by DPS, up to a limit of HK$500 thousands.

As an offshore holding company, the Company is permitted under laws and regulations of mainland China to provide funding from the proceeds of its of offshore fundraising activities to its mainland China subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions, and to its VIEs only through loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of the applicable government registration and approval requirements.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been the following cash transfers between the Company, the Company's subsidiaries, the Company’s VIEs and their subsidiaries:

The Company and its subsidiaries made capital contribution amounted to RMB1,347,145 (US$189,741) to the WFOE.

The Company and its subsidiaries provided loans amounted to RMB1,415,327 (US$199,345) to the VIEs and their subsidiaries, and the VIEs and their subsidiaries provided loans amounted to RMB2,000 (US$282) to the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company and its subsidiaries transferred RMB370,511 (US$52,185) to the VIEs and their subsidiaries as initial payment for certain fixed assets purchased from the VIEs and their subsidiaries.

The VIEs and their subsidiaries transferred RMB32,308 (US$4,550) to the Company’s subsidiaries in mainland China, and the Company’s subsidiaries in mainland China transferred RMB11,508 (US$1,621) to the VIEs and their subsidiaries, respectively, for services provided.

There were no other cash transferred, dividends or distributions between the VIEs and their subsidiaries and the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Group has not generated sufficient distributable profits to pay dividends or fully settle amounts due to the Company.

Restricted cash

As of December 31, 2022, substantially all of the Group’s restricted cash was held by financial institutions located in mainland China, and mainly represents cash secured for certain payables to suppliers. As of December 31, 2023, substantially all of the Group’s restricted cash was held by financial institutions located in mainland China and Hong Kong, and mainly represents cash secured to guarantee certain bank loans and certain payables to suppliers.

Short-term investments

The Group’s short-term investments comprise primarily of cash deposits at fixed rates with original maturities of greater than three months, but less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, all of the Group’s short-term investments were held by financial institutions located in mainland China and Hong Kong.

Non-controlling interests

A non-controlling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of subsidiaries’ equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group. Consolidated net loss on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss includes the net loss attributable to non-controlling interests. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are recorded as ”non-controlling interests” in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets.

Business combinations

The Group accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The acquisition method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred to be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets and liabilities the Group acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. The Group also evaluates all contingent consideration arrangements to determine if the arrangements are compensatory in nature. If the Group determines that a contingent consideration arrangement is compensatory, the arrangement would be accounted for outside of the business combination and recorded as compensation expense in the post-acquisition financial statements of the combined entity. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Contingent consideration, if any, is measured at fair value initially on the acquisition date as well as subsequently at the end of each reporting period until the assessment period is over and it is finally settled. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed other than contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. Acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers are recognized and measured consistently with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Group may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Equity investments

a)	Equity investments with readily determinable fair value

Equity investments with readily determinable fair value, except for those accounted for under the equity method and those that result in consolidation of the investee, are measured at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

In 2022, the Group purchased equity interest of a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a cash consideration of RMB63,356. The fair value of the equity interests was RMB44,808 and RMB30,273 (US$4,264) as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and unrealized losses for the equity investments with readily determinable fair value totaling RMB22,683 and RMB12,469 (US$1,756) were recorded in “Other gain (loss), net” on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

b)	Equity investments without readily determinable fair value

The Group’s equity investments without readily determinable fair value are primarily long-term investments in unlisted companies based in mainland China that are not in-substance common stock. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the existing practical expedient in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure all its investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any.

The Group makes a qualitative assessment of whether the equity investments are impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Group estimates the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820. If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the Group recognizes an impairment loss in the statements of comprehensive loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

In February 2022, the Group disposed certain equity interests in Beijing Yunshu Xunlian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Yunshu”), and deconsolidated Beijing Yunshu’s financial results from the Group’s consolidated financial statements from the date of disposal. The Group measured its remaining interests in Beijing Yunshu at fair value upon deconsolidation, and the loss recognized from the disposal of Beijing Yunshu was immaterial. Subsequent to the deconsolidation, the Group owns 15.63% equity interests in Beijing Yunshu and the remaining equity interests are accounted for using the measurement alternative.

The Group recognized RMB82,492, RMB22,452 and RMB nil (US$ nil) of unrealized gains (upward adjustments), RMB nil, RMB nil and RMB nil (US$ nil) of unrealized losses (downward adjustments), and RMB nil, RMB14,940 and RMB13,582 (US$1,913) of unrealized losses (impairment), in other gain (loss), net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2021,2022 and 2023, respectively.

c)	Equity method investments

The Group’s investment in common stock or in-substance common stock in entity in which it can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323-10 (“ASC 323-10”), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Overall. The Group subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the Group’s proportionate share of equity investee’s profit or loss in “other gain (loss), net” on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Group evaluates the equity method investment for impairment under ASC 323-10. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary.

In April 2023, the Group obtained 49% equity interests in an equity investment for a total cash consideration of RMB12,070 (US$1,700). The Group can exercise significant influence over the investee, and therefore, the Group accounts for such investment as an equity method investment in accordance with ASC 323.

The total carrying value of equity investments held were as follows:

Fair value measurements

Financial instruments of the Group primarily include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable and contract assets, equity investments, accounts payable, purchase consideration payable, payables for acquisitions of non-controlling interests, certain other liabilities, amounts due from and due to related parties and short-term bank loans. For equity investments without readily determinable fair value, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure those investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. The Group, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its equity investments using the alternative measurement. The Group measures equity investments with readily determinable fair value using the market approach based on the quoted prices in an active market. The carrying amounts of the bank loans approximate to their fair values due to the fact that the related interest rates approximate the interest rates currently offered by financial institutions for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The Group measures its purchase consideration payable at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of purchase consideration payable is estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates currently available for similar debts instruments of comparable maturities. The Group applies ASC 820 in measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of the remaining financial instruments approximate to their fair values because of their short-term maturities.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

The non-recurring fair value measurements to the carrying amount of equity investments accounted for using measurement alternative usually requires management to estimate a price adjustment for the different rights and obligations between a similar instrument of the same issuer with an observable price change in an orderly transaction and the investment held by the Group. These non-recurring fair value measurements were measured by using the observable transaction price and other unobservable inputs (level 3) as of the observable transaction dates.

Refer to Note 8 for the non-recurring fair value measurements to long-lived assets.

Accounts receivable and contract assets, net

The Group maintains an allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and contract assets, and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Group assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable and contract assets on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Group identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Group considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the accounts receivable and contract assets balances, credit quality of the Group’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Group’s ability to collect from customers.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property and equipment under finance leases are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leased assets or the lease term. Estimated useful lives for the property and equipment are as follows:


		Estimated
Category		Useful Life
Electronic equipment		3-4 years
Office equipment and fixtures		5 years
Data center machinery and equipment		10 years
Building		50 years

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Direct costs that are related to the construction of property and equipment, and incurred in connection with bringing the assets to their intended use are capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress is transferred to specific property and equipment, and the depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any recorded impairment. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination were recognized initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using a straight-line method of amortization that reflects the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are to be consumed. The estimated useful lives for the intangible assets are as follows:


		Estimated
Category		Useful Life
Customer relationships		6 years
Patents and technologies		6-10 years
Trademarks and domain names		10 years
Software and copyrights		3-10 years
Others		3 years

If an intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite life, it should not be amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group did not have any intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets in an asset group may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value.

Segment reporting

In accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting: Overall (“ASC 280”), the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who reviews the consolidated results of operations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one operating segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for purposes of internal reporting. A majority of the Group’s revenues were generated from mainland China and a majority of the long-lived assets of the Group are located in mainland China, and therefore, no geographical segments are presented.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the reporting units of the Group that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination based on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment referred to as a component. The Group determines reporting units by first identifying its operating segments, and then assesses whether any components of these segments constituted a business for which discrete financial information is available and where the segment manager regularly reviews the operating results of that component. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group had two reporting units, consisting of Cloud service and solutions and Cloud-based digital solution and services. Because, except for those two reporting units identified, other components below the consolidated level either did not have discrete financial information or their operating results were not regularly reviewed by the segment manager.

The Group assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Goodwill (“ASC 350-20”), which requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events. The Group has the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative test in accordance with ASC 350-20. In the qualitative assessment, the Group considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. The Group also considers the last quantitative assessment completed. If the Group believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Revenue recognition

The Group applies the five-step model outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Group generally determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Group estimates the standalone selling price based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to, historical discounting trends for services, gross margin objectives, internal costs, and industry technology lifecycles. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. For certain revenue contracts, customers are required to pay before the services are delivered to the customer. The Group recognizes a contract asset or a contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment. Contract liabilities represent the excess of payments received as compared to the consideration earned and are reflected in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets primarily relate to the Group’s rights to consideration for work completed in relation to its services performed but not billed at the reporting date and are reflected in “prepayments and other assets” in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional. Using the practical expedient in ASC 606, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Pursuant to ASC 606-10-32-2A, the Group also elected to exclude sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. Therefore, revenues are recognized net of value added taxes (“VAT”) and surcharges.

Public cloud services

The Group provides integrated cloud-based services including cloud computing, storage and delivery. Substantially all of the Group’s public cloud service revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on utilization and duration. The nature of the Group’s performance obligation is a single performance obligation under these contracts to stand ready to provide an unspecified quantity of integrated cloud-based services each day throughout the contract period. The Group uses monthly utilization records, an output measure, to recognize revenue over time as it most faithfully depicts the simultaneous consumption and delivery of services. At the end of each month, the transaction consideration is fixed based on utilization records and no variable consideration exists.

The Group also generates public cloud service revenue from prepaid subscription packages, which are recognized ratably over the fixed subscription period.

Enterprise cloud services

The Group provides comprehensive customized cloud-based and enterprise digital solutions, which are typically completed within twelve months (“Solutions”). The components within the Solutions are not distinct within the context of the contract because they are considered highly interdependent and the customer can only benefit from these components in conjunction with one another as a two-way dependency exists. In connections with Solutions, the Group also provides post-delivery maintenance and upgrade services that are mainly technical support services performed by the Group’s technical support team. Therefore, the arrangement has three performance obligations, the Solutions, maintenance and upgrades. Revenue allocated to the Solutions and upgrades, is recognized at a point in time only upon customer acceptance of the Solutions and upon delivery of the specified upgrade, respectively. Revenue allocated to maintenance is recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Group performs throughout a fixed term. Revenue allocated to maintenance and upgrades during the periods presented was immaterial.

The Group also provides enterprise digital services. The series of enterprise digital services are substantially the same from day to day, and each day of the service is considered to be distinct and separately identifiable as it benefits the customer daily. Further, the uncertainty related to the service consideration is resolved on a daily basis as the Group satisfies its obligation to perform enterprise digital service daily with enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Thus, revenue is recognized as service is performed and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the service daily.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenues primarily includes bandwidth and internet data center costs (“IDC costs”), depreciation expense of electronic equipment, data center machinery and equipment, salaries and benefits for employees directly involved in revenue generation activities, and other expenses directly attributable to the provision of services.

Research and development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of payroll and related expenses for employees and third-party service provider costs in the development for new products and services and enhancement of the Group’s service offerings. The Group expenses research and development costs as they are incurred.

Advertising expenditures

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the advertising expenses were RMB24,070, RMB9,512 and RMB9,114 (US$1,284), respectively.

Government grants

Government grants primarily consist of financial grants received from provincial and local governments for operating a business in their jurisdictions and compliance with specific policies promoted by the local governments. There are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to receive such benefits, and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. Government grants of non-operating nature and with no further conditions to be met are recorded as non-operating income in “Other income, net” when received. The remaining government grants are related to acquisition of assets. The grants are recorded as “deferred government grants” included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities line items in the consolidated balance sheets when received. Once the Group fulfills the conditions stipulated under the grant, the grant amount is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset with a corresponding reduction in the deferred government grant balance.

Leases

The Group determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at lease inception. For leases with lease and non-lease components, the Group has elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease component and its associated non-lease component. Lease terms are based on the non-cancelable term of the lease and may contain options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are not included in the lease payments and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. The Group has also elected the practical expedient for the short-term lease exemption for contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less.

Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased assets or the lease term. Interests on finance lease liabilities are determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance lease right-of-use assets are included in “Property and equipment, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. Current and non-current portions of finance lease liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and “Other liabilities”, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

As most of the Group’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the changes in equity of the Group during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Among other disclosures, ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For each of the periods presented, the Group’s comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Income taxes

The Group follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate.

The Group accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes shall be computed in accordance with the related tax laws of mainland China. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as income tax expense.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Group recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if a tax return position or future tax position is “more likely than not” to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Group’s estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits that, if any, will be recorded in “other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statute of limitations. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Group’s estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Group to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.

Share-based compensation

The Group applies ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), to account for its employee share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718, the Group determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All the Group’s share-based awards to employees are classified as equity awards and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values.

The Group uses the accelerated method for all awards granted with graded vesting based on service conditions, and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Group, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the fair value of the share-based awards granted to employees. The binomial option pricing model was applied in determining the estimated fair value of the options granted to employees.

A change in the terms or conditions of share options is accounted for as a modification of share-based awards. The Group calculates the incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested share-based awards, the Group recognizes incremental compensation cost in the period the modification occurred. For unvested share-based awards, the Group recognizes, over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date. Cancellation of an award accompanied by the concurrent grant of (or offer to grant) a replacement award is accounted for as a modification of the terms of the cancelled award.

Treasury shares

Treasury shares represent ordinary shares repurchased by the Company that are no longer outstanding and are held by the Company. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method. Under this method, repurchase of ordinary shares was recorded as treasury shares at historical purchase price.

Loss per share

In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary share equivalents, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, ordinary share equivalents consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of share options and vesting of awarded shares. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Employee benefit expenses

All eligible employees of the Group are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, welfare grants, unemployment insurance and pension benefits through a mainland China government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan. The Group is required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the qualified employees’ salaries. The Group is required to make contributions to the plans out of the amounts accrued. The mainland China government is responsible for the medical benefits and the pension liability to be paid to these employees and the Group’s obligations are limited to the amounts contributed. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.

The Group recorded employee benefit expenses of RMB310,126, RMB431,929 and RMB389,146 (US$54,810) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities with a single reportable segment have to provide all the disclosures required by ASC topic 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2023-07 and expects to adopt it for the year ending December 31, 2024 .

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), amending existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Group for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Group is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our income tax disclosures and expects to adopt it for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Cloud service and solutions reporting unit

As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to perform quantitative assessment for the goodwill allocated to Cloud service and solutions reporting unit due to industry and market considerations, and overall financial performance of the reporting unit. The fair value of this reporting unit has been determined using the discounted cash flow approach with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. Significant assumptions used included projected revenue growth rates for public cloud services revenue, IDC costs, and discount rate. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Cloud service and solutions reporting unit amounted to RMB8,886,000 exceeded its carrying amount by RMB4,110,892 or 86%. No impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.

Cloud-based digital solution and services reporting unit.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group performed qualitative assessment for the goodwill allocated to Cloud-based digital solution and services reporting unit and concluded it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In consideration of the timing of last quantitative assessment performed, the Group updated its quantitative assessment for the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of this reporting unit has been determined using the discounted cash flow approach with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. Significant assumptions used included projected revenue growth rates, gross margin, and discount rate. As of December 31, 2023, as the fair value of the Cloud-based digital solution and services reporting unit amounted to RMB3,159,000 exceeded its carrying amount by RMB588,204 or 22.88%, no impairment loss was recognized.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group’s total deferred tax assets before valuation allowances were RMB2,822,448 and RMB3,230,269 (US$454,974), respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group recorded valuation allowances of RMB2,415,627 and RMB2,809,601 (US$395,724), respectively, on its deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized.

The tax losses in the mainland China can be carried forward for five years to offset future taxable profits and the period was extended to ten years for entities that qualify as HNTE. The tax losses of entities in the mainland China will expire between 2024 and 2028 and the tax losses of entities in the mainland China that qualify as HNTE will expire between 2024 and 2033, if not utilized. The tax losses in Hong Kong can be carried forward without an expiration date.

Unrecognized tax benefits

As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group had unrecognized tax benefits of RMB58,718 and RMB61,030 (US$8,596), of which RMB18,179 and RMB17,440 (US$2,456), respectively, were presented as a reduction to the deferred tax assets related to tax losses carryforward, and the remaining amounts of RMB40,539 and RMB43,590 (US$6,140), respectively, were presented in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Group does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to increase significantly in the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, there were RMB40,539 and RMB43,590 (US$6,140) of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the annual effective tax rate, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of unrecognized tax benefit is as follows:


	As at December 31

	RMB	RMB	US$

Balance at end of the year	58,718	61,030	8,596

For the periods presented, the Group did not record any interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

In general, the tax authorities have three to five years to conduct examinations of the tax filings of the Group’s subsidiaries located in mainland China. Accordingly, the subsidiaries’ tax years of 2018 through 2023 remain open to examination by the respective tax authorities. There are no ongoing examinations by tax authorities for any of the Group’s subsidiaries.

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

To comply with laws and regulations of mainland China which prohibit foreign control of companies that engage in value-added telecommunication services, the Group primarily conducts its business in mainland China through its variable interest entities, Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and Kingsoft Cloud Information, and subsidiaries of its variable interest entities (collectively, the “VIEs”). The equity interests of the VIEs are legally held by mainland China shareholders (the “Nominee Shareholders”). Despite the lack of technical majority ownership, the Company through WFOE has effective control of the VIEs through a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Agreements”). Through the Contractual Agreements, the Nominee Shareholders effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interests in the VIEs to the Company and therefore, the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact its economic performance. The Company also has the ability and obligation to absorb substantially all of the profits and all the expected losses of the VIEs that potentially could be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. Based on the above, the Company consolidates the VIEs in accordance with SEC Regulation SX-3A-02 and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

The following is a summary of the Contractual Agreements:

Shareholder Voting Right Trust Agreements

Pursuant to the shareholder voting right trust agreements signed amongst Beijing Kingsoft Cloud, Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and its Nominee Shareholders, each Nominee Shareholder irrevocably authorizes the person designated by Beijing Kingsoft Cloud to act as his, her or its attorney-in-fact (“AIF”) to exercise on such Nominee Shareholder’s behalf any and all rights that such shareholder has in respect of his, her or its equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud. Beijing Kingsoft Cloud has the right to replace the authorized AIF at any time upon written notice without consent from the other parties. The rights as a shareholder of Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud, including, but not limited to, the right to attend shareholders’ meetings, vote on any resolution that requires a shareholder vote, such as the appointment of executive directors and senior management. The shareholder voting right trust agreements are valid as long as the Nominee Shareholders remain the shareholders of the VIEs. Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and its Nominee Shareholders have no right to unilaterally terminate the agreement.

The terms of the shareholder voting right trust agreements signed amongst Yunxiang Zhisheng, Kingsoft Cloud Information and its Nominee Shareholders are the same as the terms described above.

Loan Agreements

Beijing Kingsoft Cloud has granted interest-free loans with an aggregate amount of RMB279 to one shareholder of Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud. The loan was solely for the purposes of capital injection of Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud. The loans are only repayable by the shareholder through a transfer of her equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud to Beijing Kingsoft Cloud or its designated person(s).

The terms of the loan agreement signed between Yunxiang Zhisheng and all Nominee Shareholders of Kingsoft Cloud Information are the same as the terms described above, except that the total amount of loans extended to all Nominee Shareholders of Kingsoft Cloud Information is RMB10,000.

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

Exclusive Purchase Option Agreements

Pursuant to the exclusive purchase option agreement amongst Beijing Kingsoft Cloud, Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and its Nominee Shareholders, Beijing Kingsoft Cloud has an exclusive irrevocable option to purchase, all or part of the equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud, when and to the extent permitted under laws of mainland China. The purchase price of the equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud shall be equal to the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable laws of mainland China or either RMB0.001 or the loan amount, whichever is higher. Without the prior consent of the WFOE, the VIEs and the Nominee Shareholders shall not: (i) amend the articles of association, (ii) increase or decrease the registered capital, (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of their assets or beneficial interest, (iv) create or allow any encumbrance on their assets or other beneficial interests, (v) extend any loans to third parties, (vi) enter into any material contracts (except those contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business), (vii) merge with or acquire any other persons or make any investments, or (viii) distribute dividends to their shareholders. Any proceeds received by the Nominee Shareholders from the exercise of the option, distribution of profits or dividends, shall be remitted to the WFOE or their designated person(s), to the extent permitted under laws of mainland China. In addition, the Nominee Shareholders granted Beijing Kingsoft Cloud an exclusive right to designate one or more persons to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud. The exclusive purchase option agreement will terminate when the Nominee Shareholders transfer all of their equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud to Beijing Kingsoft Cloud or its designated person(s).

The terms of the exclusive purchase option agreement signed amongst Yunxiang Zhisheng, Kingsoft Cloud Information and its Nominee Shareholders are the same as the terms described above.

Exclusive Consultation and Technical Services Agreements

Pursuant to the exclusive consultation and technical services agreement between Beijing Kingsoft Cloud and Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud, Beijing Kingsoft Cloud has the sole and exclusive right to provide Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud consulting services and technical services. Without the prior written consent of Beijing Kingsoft Cloud, Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud may not directly or indirectly accept any services subject to the exclusive consultation and technical services agreement from any third party, while Beijing Kingsoft Cloud has the right to designate any party to provide such services. Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud will pay Beijing Kingsoft Cloud a service fee periodically which is adjustable at the sole discretion of Beijing Kingsoft Cloud. The exclusive consultation and technical services agreements will remain effective unless terminated by the WFOE at its sole discretion.

The terms of the exclusive consultation and technical services agreement signed between Yunxiang Zhisheng and Kingsoft Cloud Information are the same as the terms described above, except that the agreement will continuously remain effective unless both parties agree to terminate the agreement.

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

Equity Pledge Agreements

Pursuant to the equity pledge agreement amongst Beijing Kingsoft Cloud, Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and its Nominee Shareholders, the Nominee Shareholders have pledged all of their equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud to Beijing Kingsoft Cloud to guarantee performance of their obligations under the Contractual Agreements described above. During the term of the equity pledge agreement, Beijing Kingsoft Cloud has the right to receive all of Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud’s dividends and profits distributed on the pledged equity. In the event of a breach by Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud or any of its Nominee Shareholders of the contractual obligations under the equity pledge agreement, Beijing Kingsoft Cloud, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and will have priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and its Nominee Shareholders undertake that, without the prior written consent of Beijing Kingsoft Cloud, they will not transfer, or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The equity pledge agreements will be in effect permanently until Zhuhai Kingsoft Cloud and its Nominee Shareholders have fulfilled all the obligations under the Contractual Agreements.

The terms of the equity pledge agreement signed amongst Yunxiang Zhisheng, Kingsoft Cloud Information and its Nominee Shareholders are the same as the terms described above.

Financial Support Undertaking Letter

Pursuant to the financial support undertaking letter, the Company is obligated and hereby undertakes to provide unlimited financial support to the VIEs, to the extent permissible under the applicable laws and regulations of mainland China, whether or not any such operational loss is actually incurred. The Company will not request repayment of the loans or borrowings if the VIEs or their Nominee Shareholders do not have sufficient funds or are unable to repay.

Resolutions of all Shareholders and resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company

The Shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors resolved that the rights under the Shareholder Voting Right Trust Agreements and the Exclusive Purchase Option Agreements were assigned to the Board of Directors of the Company or any officer authorized by the Board of Directors.

In the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, (i) the ownership structure relating to the VIEs complies with current laws and regulations of mainland China; (ii) the Contractual Agreements with the VIEs and the Nominee Shareholders are valid, binding and enforceable on all parties to these Contractual Agreements and do not violate current laws or regulations of mainland China; and (iii) the resolutions are valid in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and Cayman Islands Law.

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

However, uncertainties in mainland China legal system could cause the relevant regulatory authorities to find the current Contractual Agreements and businesses to be in violation of any existing or future laws or regulations of mainland China and could limit the Company’s ability to enforce its rights under these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, the Nominee Shareholders of the VIEs may have interests that are different from those of the Company, which could potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the terms of the Contractual Agreements with the VIEs. In addition, if the Nominee Shareholders will not remain the shareholders of the VIEs, breach, or cause the VIEs to breach, or refuse to renew the existing Contractual Arrangements the Company has with them and the VIEs, the Company may not be able to effectively control the VIEs and receive economic benefits from them, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs.

In addition, if the current structure or any of the contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing or future laws or regulations of mainland China, the Company may be subject to penalties, including but not be limited to, revocation of business and operating licenses, discontinuing or restricting business operations, restricting the Company’s right to collect revenues, temporary or permanent blocking of the Company’s internet platforms, restructuring of the Company’s operations, imposition of additional conditions or requirements with which the Company may not be able to comply, or other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Company that could be harmful to its business. The imposition of any of these or other penalties could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group performed recoverability tests using the undiscounted cash flows method, and concluded that the long-lived assets were recoverable. As such, the Group did not recognize any impairments of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In consideration of the continuous declines in public cloud service revenue as result of the Group’s partial scale-down of its content delivery network (“CDN”) services, the Group performed recoverability tests and the results indicated that long-lived assets associated with the public cloud asset group were not recoverable during the year ended December 31, 2023. As the estimated fair value of these assets was below their carrying value, the Group recognized a total of RMB653,670 (US$92,067) of impairment loss on its long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Group determines the fair value of the asset group using the discounted cash flows method with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. The significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flows included revenue growth rates for public cloud services, IDC costs, and discount rate, all of which were classified as level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

The Group performed a recoverability test for the public cloud asset group as of December 31, 2023, and no further impairment is considered necessary.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (Continued)

Fair value of share options

The fair value of share options was determined using the binomial tree model, with the assistance from an independent third-party appraiser. The binomial model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected share price volatility and the exercise multiple. For expected volatility, the Company has made reference to historical volatility of several comparable companies. The exercise multiple was estimated as the average ratio of the stock price to the exercise price of when employees would decide to voluntarily exercise their vested options. As the Company did not have sufficient information of past employee exercise history, it has considered the statistics on exercise patterns of employees compiled by Huddart and Lang in Huddart, S., and M. Lang. 1996. “Employee Stock Option Exercises: An Empirical Analysis.” Journal of Accounting and Economics, vol. 21, no. 1(February):5-43, which are widely adopted by valuers as authoritative guidance on expected exercise multiples. For the employee exit rate, which represents the annual turnover rate of employees leaving services, the Group uses the historical employee exiting data to have an estimate of that input. The risk-free rate for the period within the contractual life of the options is based on the market yield of U.S. Treasury Bonds in effect at the time of grant.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the share options granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 are as follows:


	For the year ended December 31
	2021	2022
Risk-free rate	1.13%-1.62%	1.75%-2.93%
Expected volatility range	36.28%-38.03%	35.62%-46.22%
Exercise multiple	2.20-2.80	2.20-2.80
Fair market value per ordinary share as at valuation dates	US$1.97-US$3.49	US$0.24-US$0.73

Share-based awards of Camelot

Camelot subsidiary also had an equity incentive plan granting share-based awards that contain 3-year service vesting condition (the “Camelot Award”). The portion relating to the acquisition-date fair-value-based measure of the “Camelot Award” that was attributable to precombination service was recognized as non-controlling interest and the portion relating to any remaining postcombination service was recognized as share-based compensation expenses in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group did not grant any share-based awards under the Camelot Award after its acquisition of Camelot.

The acquisition date fair value of each Camelot Award is estimated using the binomial tree option pricing model with the following assumptions:


	2021
Risk-free rate	0.21	%
Expected volatility	50.56	%
Exercise multiple	2.20
Fair market value per ordinary share as at valuation dates	RMB23.00

In November 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved to replace all outstanding Camelot Awards with cash consideration of RMB43,981 and 27,500,715 share-based awards of the Company under the 2021 Share Award Scheme.

4.	BUSINESS COMBINATION (Continued)

Acquisition of Camelot (Continued)

During the second quarter of 2022, the Group completed the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The table below summaries the final determination of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Camelot as of the acquisition date:


	Camelot
	RMB	US$
Total fair value of purchase consideration	5,290,553	767,058
Less:
Cash and cash equivalents	618,439	89,665
Restricted cash	1,126	163
Accounts receivable and other assets	940,511	136,361
Property and equipment, net	13,792	2,000

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant statutory laws and regulations of mainland China permit payments of dividends by the Group’s mainland China subsidiaries only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations of mainland China. The results of operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s mainland China subsidiaries. The Company has not previously declared or paid any cash dividend or dividend in kind and has no plan to declare or pay any dividends in the near future.

In accordance with the Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment of China and its Articles of Association, the Company’s mainland China subsidiaries, being foreign-invested enterprises established in the mainland China, are required to provide certain statutory reserves, namely the general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund, all of which are appropriated from net profit as reported in its mainland China statutory accounts. The Company’s mainland China subsidiaries are required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the general reserve fund until such fund has reached 50% of its registered capital based on the enterprise’s mainland China statutory accounts. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the mainland China subsidiaries. These reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to the Company in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends.

In accordance with the mainland China Company Laws, the Company’s mainland China subsidiaries and the VIEs must make appropriations from their annual after-tax profits as reported in their mainland China statutory accounts to non-distributable reserve funds, namely statutory surplus fund, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus fund. The VIEs are required to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to the statutory surplus fund until such fund has reached 50% of their respective registered capital. Appropriation to discretionary surplus is made at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the VIEs. These reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to the Company in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends.

Under laws and regulations of mainland China, there are restrictions on the Company’s mainland China subsidiaries and the VIEs with respect to transferring certain of their net assets to the Company either in the form of dividends, loans, or advances. Amounts of net assets restricted include paid-in capital and statutory reserve funds of the Company’s mainland China subsidiaries and the net assets of the VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries in which the Company has no legal ownership, totaling RMB4,084,202 (US$575,248) as of December 31 2023; therefore, in accordance with Rules 504 and 4.08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X, the condensed parent company only financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2023 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 are disclosed in Note 23.

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS (Continued)

Furthermore, cash transfers from the Company’s mainland China subsidiaries to its subsidiaries outside of China are subject to mainland China government control of currency conversion. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of the mainland China subsidiaries and VIEs to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to the Company, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations.

CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

Dec. 31, 2023

CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

3.	CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

Concentration of credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable and contract assets. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, which were held by reputable financial institutions in the jurisdictions where the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs and the subsidiaries of VIEs are located. The Group believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions have high credit quality.

Accounts receivable and contract assets are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from reputable customers. As of December 31, 2022, the Group had one customer, with receivable balances exceeding 10% of the total accounts receivable balances. As of December 31, 2023, the Group had two customers accounted for more than 10% of the total accounts receivable balances. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Group had two customers with contracts asset balances exceeding 10% of the total contract assets balances, respectively. The risks with respect to accounts receivable and contract assets are mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

Business, customer, political, social and economic risks

The Group participates in a dynamic and competitive high technology industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: changes in the overall demand for services; competitive pressures due to existing competitors; new trends in new technologies and industry standards; control of telecommunication infrastructures by local regulators and industry standards; changes in certain strategic relationships or customer relationships; regulatory considerations; and risks associated with the Group’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth. The Group’s operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in mainland China.

3.	CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (Continued)

Business, customer, political, social and economic risks (Continued)

Revenue from two customers accounted for 22% and 13%, respectively, of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue from two customers accounted for 20% and 11%, respectively, of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2022. Revenue from two customers accounted for 15% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Currency convertibility risk

The Group transacts a majority of its business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the mainland China government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the PBOC. However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that the RMB may be readily convertible into United States dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Additionally, the value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in mainland China foreign exchange trading system market.

The Group has not made any foreign currency payments that are subject to approval by the PBOC or other institutions during the periods presented. While the Group’s mainland China subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of the VIEs have not converted cash and cash equivalents in RMB to a foreign currency for the periods presented, they plan to convert in the future to repay the amounts due to the Company’s subsidiary.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. For RMB against U.S. dollar, there was appreciation of approximately 2.3% during the year ended December 31, 2021, and depreciations of approximately 8.2% and 2.9% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. It is difficult to predict how market forces or mainland China or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future.

To the extent that the Group needs to convert the U.S. dollar into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Group would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Group decides to convert RMB into the U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends on ordinary shares, strategic acquisitions or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Group. In addition, a significant depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar may significantly reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Group’s earnings or losses.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY (Continued)

Basis of presentation

For the presentation of the parent company only condensed financial information, the Company records its investments in subsidiaries and the VIEs under the equity method of accounting as prescribed in ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Such investments are presented on the condensed balance sheets as “investments in subsidiaries” and the subsidiaries’ and the VIEs’ losses and gains as “share of (losses) gains of subsidiaries” and “contractual interests in VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries” on the condensed statements of comprehensive loss. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of “investments in subsidiaries” for its share of the subsidiaries and the VIEs’ cumulative losses until the investment balance reaches zero and did not provide for additional losses unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the subsidiaries’ and the VIEs’ or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support.

The subsidiaries did not pay any dividends to the Company for the periods presented.

The Company does not have significant commitments or long-term obligations as of the period end.

The parent company only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair value measurements (Continued)

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
